The Minnesota Twins announced today that they have selected the contract of left-handed pitcher Buddy Boshers from Triple-A Rochester. Boshers, who was signed by the Twins as a minor league free agent December 14, 2015, is 1-0 with a 1.42 ERA (19.0 IP, 3 ER), five walks and 21 strikeouts in 15 relief appearances for the Red Wings this season.
To make room for Boshers on the 25-man roster, the Twins have placed outfielder Darin Mastroianni on the 15-day disabled list with a left oblique strain (retro to May 22). To make room for Boshers on the 40-man roster, the Twins have transferred left-handed pitcher Glen Perkins to the 60-day disabled list. Perkins was placed on the disabled list April 13 (retro to April 11) with a left posterior shoulder strain.
The Twins 40-man roster is now at 40 players.
